Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are some persons who have allergic reactions in the response to cold substances coming into contact with the skin.
It is called cold urticaria.
It is possible that this the cause but your may want to consult a dermatologist or allergist for assessment.
It is treated by avoiding the allergen whenever possible and the use of oral antihistamines.
These are available over the counter.
I hope this helps
